Consumers who have the recalled salad kits are advised not to consume the product and should discard it immediately.
WASHINGTON — Salad kits sold in 25 states are being recalled due to the presence of undeclared sesame and soy allergens, the Food and Drug Administration announced.
Taylor Fresh Foods, the California-based manufacturer behind the affected salad kits, issued a voluntary recall over its Honey Balsamic Salad Kit due to a mix-up with the wrong dressing and topping. The salad kits may contain undeclared allergens sesame and soy.
The individual dressing and topping packets included in the Taylor Farms salad kits were supposed to contain the Honey Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing but instead had the Asian Sesame Ginger dressing. Those with an allergy or severe sensitivity to sesame and soy run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume these products, the FDA said in a press release on Aug. 26.
So far, the FDA has reported no illnesses associated with Taylor Farms in connection with the recall.
Taylor Farms’ recalled salad kits were distributed in 25 states: Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington and West Virginia.
The salad kits have code dates starting with “TRFS” and “Best If Used By” dates up to and including Sept. 4, 2025. The product code can be found in the upper right-hand corner of the packaging, the FDA said.
Consumers who have the recalled salad kits are advised not to consume the product and should discard it immediately. The FDA said the recalled products can be refunded at the location of purchase.
